Aljazir Has had plenty of chance to break his duck but always seems to find a few too good.
Dark Before Dawn (USA) Well bred debutant from a yard noted for it's sprinters; must have had problems though and the market may prove best guide to his chance today.
Albert's Lad Last on both career starts; needs a miracle.
Arkatme From a shrewd yard but looks as though his time will come in handicap company.
Moon Master Not disgraced on second start last term in heavy ground and could make up into a fair sort; another worth noting in betting exchanges.
Needwood Blade Nothing special in two starts so far but looks the type to improve this term.
Noble Locks (IRE) Runner-up twice (including a seller) but a disappointment last time out.
So Sober (IRE) Has some fair form to his name and a reproduction of latest effort could see him go close here.
The Scaffolder May need further that this but nonetheless still repected on balance of form.
Zendium (IRE) Highly tried on York debut last term and will find this much easier; will go close if fit enough.
Ace-Ma-Vahra Noted running a promising race under tender handling latest; could make them all go if given a more positive ride today.
Japan (IRE) Some promise on Southwell debut and will progress further no doubt; eash-way possible today.
